    HI there

    just a quick update from me. went to the dentist today hoping against hope that i'd get good news and everything could be finalised. not to be - have to have surgery to remove the abcess and infection - am being referred to surgeon for appointment next week. have been having a massive anxiety attack about the whole thing all day - appointment is tuesday - at this stage IUI is going to take place either monday or tuesday - i keep being told to relax and keep stress levels down - and then something like this happens! i just feel like something is gonna happen that's going to mess with the IUI cycle - anaesthetics can't be great for things - and it's been made worse by the fact that i've been told i'll probably need multiple surgaries - so if the IUI does take (which i so hope it does) - what impact will it have on a growing bubba??

    sorry for the vent, probably shoud have posted this in BooHoo room, but once i started typing, i couldn't stop.

    Hi everyone!

    Sorry I haven't been around much. Trying to limit thinking about this whole TTC business, so I don't stress out about it too much!

    BG -- So sorry to hear about the dentist! That sounds really stressful! The next few days will go by fast. I don't think there's any reason why the dental procedure should interfere at all with the effectiveness of the IUI, so I wouldn't worry about that at all.

    Mako -- I have my fingers crossed for you! I'm hoping you have a BFP soon!

    Jo -- I hope the 2ww goes by fast for you! It drives me crazy. I found that the best thing to do is just keep yourself occupied with other things as much as possible...

    Hi KTgirl -- I hear you about the long cycles. I had such high hopes that I'd ovulate on my own, after doing the clomid rounds. But nope. I think I'm on cycle date 60+ now. I stopped counting, awhile back.

    Hi BW -- hope everything is going well with you!

    As for me, I'm starting clomid tomorrow. I'm only on 50 mg, so I have a feeling it won't even work. In which case we have to up the dosage. Which means more side effects. I am really not too excited about it all, as you can tell...

    BG Sorry to hear that you have to have surgery. I hope everything goes extremely well for you with the IUI next week.I can't help with the question about anasthetics etc, sorry. I'm sure it will all work out the way you want it to hun.

    Emmydee Good luck with the clomid sweet. I hope a bfp is just around the corner for you.

    BW How did the appointment go?

    As for me I'm feeling very down and disappointed atm. AF has decided to visit me AGAIN. I was really hoping that this wouldn't happen this month . DH has told me that he wants us to try this cycle without any medication and no IUI as he somehow thinks we may become pregnant this way. I don't know why he thinks like this but I think this is what we'll do.
    Does anyone know of anyone who has fallen pregnant while having a little break from meds and intervention????

    Mako, so sorry to hear that AF arrived.

    My appointment went really well. I'm exhausted after a very long day, but the short story is that I started synarel tonight (not so bad!) and go back on the 19th to have blood tests and start injections. I'm feeling good and happy and amazingly calm about it all. Funnily enough, I felt slightly less freaked out by my first synarel huff than I was by my first clomid tablet.

    Now this tired little butterfly is off to bed...
